Please Help Indentify Old Museum Guns!
Hi guys, I'm back with the pictures, but I can not figure out how to get them on this sight, so they are all on the sight I created for that purpose. The address is
-http://www.msnusers.com/GunBrokerForums/pictures-
Please if any of you have the time to go and look, and help me identify these old guns, I will make sure you all get a recomendation to Santa Claus next Christmas!
There are about fifty pictures, but only fifteen guns, so it should not take you fabulous experts to get some kind of info on them.
And of course, thank you for your help. In the mean time, I am working on gathering any and all information I can come up with, as far as serial numbers, or dates of manufacturing that are available on all of them. Most have no numbers, or names of any kind, so bear with me and we'll see what we caome up with.
Again, thanks to all for your generous hel-p!

I too get the "album empty" mssg.
To simplify all of this, why don't you do as I suggested a while back and send the digital images to me as regular email attachments and I'll post them for you.
If you've misplaced my email address use the icon at the top of this reply and I'll reply w/ my direct mail address.

Hello Bigbarn...
The one rifle you have pictured (P4061288.JPG, P4061289.JPG, P4061290.JPG, P4061291.JPG) looks like a Frank Wesson two-trigger. Old Norm Flayderman has some good information in his book on them. I only saw pictures of just one firearm... are there others?

Well I haven't heard from any more experts in the last few days, and am wondering if you guys have forgot about me? I got some good information from Bert H, but have not heard from any one else. ContenderMan is supposed to post my pictures on this sight, so if any of you guys see them, please help me identify them.
And again, thanks for your expert help! [:D][:)][^]

BigBarn ... I still haven't gotten the pictures from you to post.
I will be out of town most of the weekend, but if you can get them to me during that time I will start posting them when I get home.

The album says "Empty" if you can post a link that works I'm sure you could get some help. 0
